Subject: [PATCH access-control] fix #7144: auth: ldap: force utf-8 encoding for bind credentials
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 15:50:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709135023.159039-1-e.huhsovitz@proxmox.com> (raw)
When saving the LDAP/AD bind password to /etc/pve/priv/realm/<realm>.pw,
the file was written using the default byte encoding. This caused
passwords containing non-ASCII characters (e.g., '£' or '§') to be
truncated to their lowest byte, resulting in authentication failures
during subsequent sync operations.
Pass the 'force_utf8' flag to file_set_contents to ensure the password
is encoded as UTF-8 before being written to disk.
